Hello growers
I would love to have an opinion on this topic. Let me update you on what I have been working with. I have a one plant indoor grow inside a 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I use a 40l fabric pot with both Orgasoilux and Freedom farms soil (green bag). The bottom half I use Orgasoilux(20l) and the top half I use Freedom farms soil(20l). Throughout veg all I give the plant is Biodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Molasses and water. This results in an extremely healthy plant.
Once I flip to flower I start using organic bottled nutrients. In the past I have used Biobizz Bio-bloom, and more recently I have used Dirty hands inc - Bio-Phos (Jamie's brand). I give 3ml Bio-Phos once a week early flower and up it to 5ml every week mid to late flower. Plus a molasses feeding every 2 weeks and stopped using Biodyne microbes 1 week into flower.
I was thinking about completely ditching bottled nutrients and going the topdressing route for flower. I was thinking of maybe topdressing a week before the flip with Jamie's elemental blend. I am just worried if it will provide enough for the plants through to harvest. I was also thinking of maybe using my own topdressing blend of Dry kelp, Gypsum, Malted Barley and Worm Castings. Would love an opinion on switching to topdressing for flower and if the elemental blend should be more than enough to take me to harvest. If you think I should just stick to bottled nutrients for flower let me know. I am going to include photo's of my 2 previous grows using the method I have stated above. Just trying to get the best quality flower possible :)
Some thoughts of mine...…
Topdressing vs Liquid Nutrients?
Biobizz Bio-Bloom vs Dirty Hands Inc Bio-Phos?
One topdressing enough 1 week before flip?
Elemental Blend or my own flowering mix?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Grow:
Medium: Top Half Freedom Farms soil (20l) + bottom half Orgasoilux(20l)
Additives and Amendments: Molasses + Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes + Dirty Hands Inc - Bio-Phos + Mycoroot (seedling)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Seedling)
- Solo Cup + Freedom Farms soil + Mycoroot
-Transplant in week 2 of veg to 40l
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Veg Stage)
- initial inoculant 2ml Environoc Microbes
-1ml per litre Environoc every 2 weeks
-5ml per litre Molasses every 2 weeks
-Stop Environoc 1 week into flower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Flower Stage)
-3ml Bio-Phos every week (early flower)
-5ml Bio-Phos every week (late flower)
-5ml Molasses every 2 weeks
-Stop Bio-Phos 2 weeks before harvest
-Feed molasses until harvest

First time growing photoperiods, quite excited.
Genetics
Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co. 6 Pack
High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds." Hoping to achieve that.
Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment.
Grow Setup
Same as before. Here
~
Lets go
9 November
Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.
10 November
Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.
11 November
Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped, gently took them and placed them root facing down in Jiffy Preforma Plugs.
Covered the holes slightly and into the ROOTiT Small Propagator they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading.
I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.
Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.

Hi everyone,
I am currently looking to purchase an indoor setup for myself. Nothing fancy or big. Just enough to be a new hobby. I am always willing to invest in more stuff later, just dont have the money right now.
So basically my budget is Around R5k. I am willing to go over, but anything lower is always preferred.
I got a quote form MarijuanaSA and want a few opinions on it, or just a whole new quote for those that are willing to make one.
It seems to have all the important items in it. I can buy a few items that do the same at lower prices, like on takealot. I am looking at 0.8x0.8 or a 1x1 tents. What would be better? I want to grow around 2 to 3 plants at a time.
Then, I would really like a cheaper light to use but just cant seem to find a good option that is less than 1k...
So basically, I am asking for assistance in selecting all the basic items for my first ever indoor grow. Whatever saves me the most money and gives me enough items to get away for at least 2 harvests before investing more.
I already have soil and pots from my outdoor plants.
Any help will really be appreciated as I barely know what I am buying with indoor growing equipment.
I have a small list of just a few items that I am putting together to use as a purchasing guide. Here it is for a general idea of what im currently looking at:

Aweh,
So my leaves are going light green and bottom fan leaves are turning yellow. Is this normal during flower? I know fade is normal but I'm not sure on leaves going full yellow and dying out. I'm going into week 7 of flower tomorrow. First photo period plant in flower so I'm new to this whole process.

Hello Growers
May be a stupid question, but is it possible for an exhaust fan to be too powerful for an indoor setup.
A year ago when I started growing indoors I had an exhaust fan in the top of my 2x2 grow tent. For the first few grow attempts my plants were unhappy and yellowing and no idea why, I looked at my soil, my water, basically everything that could cause this problem but absolutely nothing I did fixed the problem. I tried many different thing yet I got the same result.
It wasn't until I decided to turn off my exhaust fan and only leave a normal oscillating fan outside bottom of my tent to push air through the intake vents therefore forcing the air out the top hole where the exhaust fan was. Since then all my problems were resolved. I was extremely confused as I always thought the more airflow the better right? Outside in nature there's so much wind and constant airflow I would never assume that was the problem.
Would like to know if anyone could give advice on why this is? Am I crazy? Is there such a thing as too much airflow, or too much negative pressure in the tent not allowing the plants to "breathe" because theres just too much airflow?
Sorry if this sounds extremely stupid. Just very curious. Because since I turned off the exhaust all my problems disappeared. Was thinking about turning on the exhaust again because I need to exhaust the hot air building up from the lights. I don't have a speed controller on my exhaust fan.
Basically would just like to know if there is such a thing as too much constant airflow in the tent. My bottom fan is oscillating so it gives a few seconds of rest for the air intake into the tent.
Thanks guys
